Penelope was a new addition to the Krusty the Clown show, as his producers found out that they were losing the female demographic. [[Krusty]] accepted the new addition, only to get tired of her girly antics very soon, quickly losing male viewers instead. When Krusty tried to confront Penelope however, she revealed to him how she joined mainly because of him, being his biggest fan since childhood. After this revelation, Krusty and Penelope start a relationship. [[The Krusty the Clown Show]] episodes soon after show them singing love songs to one another, with Krusty culminating in asking Penelope's hand in marriage, to which she agrees heartily. At their wedding day, [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] try to sabotage the ceremony by showing Penelope Krusty's array of ex-wives, including [[Holly Hippie]] and [[Eartha Kitt]], who each despise him. Penelope still desires to be wed to Krusty, but Krusty decides that he is not worth Penelope's love and cancels the wedding. Penelope then moves to [[France]] and sings songs on her guitar at a local café. When walking on the Seine river bridge, Krusty appears, apologizing for leaving her. She accepts, and the two float down the Seine River together into the Paris night.<ref>"[[Once Upon a Time in Springfield]]"</ref>
